* MySQLi support *
Why are we working on a new database MySQLi class for Horizon? This is due to the fact that the old MYSQL extension is deprecated in PHP 5.5 and will be removed in the future. I don't know exactly why this decision was made, but I think that this has to do with OOP. Using MYSQLi will force the programmer to work with objects. Horizon is already Object Orientated and changing the database class won't be much of a problem.
